As Napoli pushes toward a second Serie A title in three seasons, Scott McTominay has become one of the standout performers during the final stretch. Since arriving from Manchester United last summer, the Scottish midfielder has taken on a central role under Antonio Conte, proving instrumental in their title charge.
McTominay has stepped up following the departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to PSG in January, scoring five goals in his last three matches and bringing his season tally to 11 in the league. His presence has filled a crucial gap in Napoli’s attack and added consistency in midfield when it mattered most.
Antonio Conte praised McTominay’s growth ahead of their weekend clash against Lecce. With four matches to go and a slim three-point lead over second-placed Inter, Napoli remains focused on securing the title, even with favorable matchups on the horizon.
Conte emphasized the midfielder’s development, noting that McTominay had never held a primary role at Manchester United. In Naples, however, he’s been trusted with more responsibility—and he’s delivered. Napoli’s rise to 74 points is, in large part, a reflection of his impact and the cohesion of the team around him.
With the finish line in sight, belief is building in Naples. Still, Conte remains cautious, urging his players to stay grounded as they look to close out the season on top.
